Back To The Island Chords (ver.2)

Back to the Island by Leon Russell
Capo up 1 fret
A7 D Bm Bm7
Now the day is gone and I sit alone and think of you girl
Em7 G D
What can I do without you in my life?
Bm Bm+ Bm7 E
I guess that our guessing game just had to end that way
G A7 G A7 D
The hardest one to lose of all the games we played
A7 D Bm Bm7
But the time has passed for living in a dream world
G Em7 D
And lying to myself, can't make that scene
Bm Bm+ Bm7 E
Of wondering if you love me, or just making a fool of me
G A7 G A7 D
Well I hope you understand, I just had to go back to the island,
G D
And watch the sun go down, hear the sea roll in
A7 D
But I'll be thinking of you and how it might have been
G D
Hear the nightbird cry and watch the sunset down
G A7 G A7 D
Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island.
Bm D G D
For all the sunny skies it's raining in my heart
Bm G D
I know down in my soul I'm really gonna miss you
Bm D G D
But it had to end this way with all the games we played
G A7 G A7 D
Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island
G D
And watch the sun go down, hear the sea roll in
A7 D
But I'll be thinking of you and how it might have been
G D
Hear the nightbird cry and watch the sunset down
G A7 G A7 D
Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island.
